§ Sir W. Robson Brownasked the Minister of Aviation when the V.C.10 aircraft will be introduced on the North Atlantic service; how many will be used; and if he will support the prestige of this aircraft by taking part in the flight.
Mr. JenkinsI understand that B.O.A.C.'s intention is to introduce Super V.C.10s on North Atlantic routes from 1st April, 1965, and that by that date they expect to have taken delivery of 5 Super V.C.10s. I shall certainly do all I can to give the aircraft a good send-off on this important route, and I will consider the hon. Member's suggestion that I should take part in the flight.
